How do West & Zimmerman distinguish “sex categorization” from both sex and gender?

1. What do you think feminist theorists mean when they refer to gender identity as an “accomplishment”? Provide an example from real life that illustrates the current feminist idea that gender is “done” rather than something one “is.”
2. How do West & Zimmerman distinguish “sex categorization” from both sex and gender? Explain how these three concepts are related, according to the authors. Why do you think their computer store clerk example is relevant to their argument?
[Hint: Answer both questions thoroughly. Use your own words to explain in plain English why gender is an “accomplishment” that requires “doing.” Do not use the store clerk as your everyday life example!]
